Vertex plus for Z68 SSD cache?

[ScorcherDarkly]

Newegg has a 60GB OCZ Vertex Plus for $50 after MIR right now. Is this drive ok for a SSD cache on a Z68 mobo? I know it's older, and I poked around at some reviews (including Anand's), but wanted to see what you guys thought.

Thanks for the help.

I think that one or a V+100 would be great for SRT.

Actually it is the newest SSD on the market. No, really it is just a Vertex 1 with the new arowana firmware. You should get much faster speeds than are listed on newegg.

Uh, no... new firmware does not make a new SSD. That's the Indilinx Barefoot controller, and it's not even close to new.
